Vernon COunty's Big Strike.

Nevada, No., December 5.-Petroleum
oil has been discovered at a depth of 100
feet on the farm of Capt. Thomas Todd, in
Richland township, this (Vernon) county.
The petroleum is of extra fine quality and
burns readily, emitting a peculiar odor
similar to commercial coal oil. There is
an abundant flow which rises to the top of
the water. The we'll will probably be de-
veloped. Natural gas has also been dis
covered on the farms of III. Howard and
James McConnahy in the same vicinity,
one at the depth OF eighty feet. Both were
discovered while drilling for water, in each
case the gas forcing its way through the
water to the top of the well. The heat
from the burning gas is intense and con-
tinued lighting has prod uced heat sufficient
to melt away the iron casing at the top OF
the we'll

Mr.. N. NJ. Eshelman, resident OF
northwestern Kansas, is a gentleman
who appears to have some practical
ideas on how swine should be managed
for health and profit, and he expresses
them in the American Agriculturis5 in
this wise:
"There is probably no better pas
turage for swine than clover
field. When such an one is not
available, oats and rye may
be made to serve as an excellent
substitute. / have six acres fenced
with lumber and wire; three OF these
are sown to rye in the fall, and the
other half to oats in the spring. AS
soon as the oats are about six inches
high, turn in the hogs. The rye by
that time is beyond their desires, and
comes to maturity about the time the
oats are gone, when it again engages
| their attention. The oat ground may
now be plowed and sown to rye tor
fall pasturage. OF course some OF the
oats will come to maturity. This
also seeds the ground, and / have
not only rye, but q fine mixture oivol-
unteer oats for my hogs in the fall
By this means | have raised 100 hogs
without large amount of corn, and
have never had any disease among nay

three acres that were in rye last year

means OF this pasturage, the sudder

the hogs pass TO green corn, and a

Boston Long Ago.

An Englishman visiting Boston in
1909 wrote IS follows of some of his
observations;
"If you kiss a woman in publick,
though offered as courteous saluta-
ton, ii any information Is gwen to the
select members both shall be whipped
or fined. But the good humored lasses,
to make yea amends, will kiss the
kinder in corner. A captain of a
ship who had been on long voyage,
happened to meet his wife and kissed
her in the street, for which he was
fined ten shillings and forced to pay
the money. Another inhabitant OF
the town was fined ten shillings for
kissing his own wife in his garden, and
obstinately refusing to pay the money,
endured twenty lashes at the gun. At
this rate one OF the delightfullest Gus
toms OF the world will in time be quite
thrown out OF fashion, to the old
folks satisfaction but to the young
ones lamentations, who love i as
well in New England as We do in thu
old"
The same man continues his obser-
vations and relations as follow:
EVERY tenth man is chose as one OF
the Select, who have power together
TO regulate and punish all disorders
that happen in their several neighbor-
hoods. The penalty for drunkenness
is whipping or a crown; eursing or
swearing the same fine, or to be bored
through the tongue with a hot iron.
But get your Select Member into your
company and treat him, and you may
do either without offence, and be as safe
